The British singer hit back at critics who mocked her look at this year's Grammys, where she was cruelly compared to Princess Fiona from <i>Shrek</i>. The Grammy-winner, who took home an impressive five awards at the award ceremony, spoke her mind to a sold-out audience in Perth, Australia (one of the stops on her world tour). She discussed how she felt about the negative social media comments with the crowd, saying: "I wore this dress, right, everyone said I looked like Fiona, I don't [expletive] care. It was Givenchy couture! They can say what they want." According to <i>Metro</i>, she also remarked: "I worked out. Obviously I'm a large lady and I like eating food very much, but I was working out twice a day to fit into that Givenchy dress because it was quite tight."
This isn't the first time, the star has touched on the topic. Back in 2015, she said: "I do have body image problems, for sure, but I don't let them rule my life at all. And there's bigger issues going on in the world than how I might feel about myself and stuff like that. There's only one of you so why would you want to look like everyone else? Why would you want to have the same hairstyle as everyone else and have the same opinions as everybody else?"
